RV Rental Tombigbee State Park, MS

Fringed by a grassy foreshore, Lake Lee is the centerpiece at Tombigbee State Park. On a sunny day, head down to the lake and claim one of the waterfront picnic tables.

Scenic nature trails wind through the park and are a great way to enjoy the park on foot. The Tree Trunk Trail is a favorite, featuring flat terrain and gorgeous views of the lake.

The public barbecue grills are perfect for frying up your catch of the day.

There are plenty of recreational facilities on offer, including a tennis court, volleyball nets, archery range, and kids' playground. A pair of 18-hole disc golf courses meander through the park's rolling hills and hardwood forests. If you don't travel with discs, the park office can hook you up with rentals.
